Baby Shower Gift Receipts

Some will say it's tacky, but for baby clothes especially, I try to include a gift receipt where possible. Babies grow at such different rates. You might give something cute for age 6 months in August but the baby might be barely out of 3 month clothes at that time. The result - a great summer outfit never to be used. A gift receipt makes it SO much easier on the recipient to turn in the outfit for something more seasonal or a different size. Especially since, once the baby's born, mom does not have alot of time to take extra time at the store fill out special paperwork to get the credit issued. I take no offense to these kinds of exchanges either. I'd be happier to see the child wearing something seasonally appropriate rather than it sit on a hanger or in a drawer and then straight to the thrift shop.

The Point

In the midst of the recession, a friend was telling me about the wonderful qualities of Frittatas. They're cheap, easy, and incredibly versatile. Whisk some eggs, toss in some meat/veggies and cheese, bake in the oven or on the stovetop - a great meal in minutes. Between family, work, and the general day-to-day, I have gained a great appreciation for things that have made my life simpler. I enjoy sharing these kinds of great tips and ideas. Of course, like Frittatas, some folks are just plain averse to egg and egg-bake products - so what worked for me may not work for you, but I do hope you find some good stuff here!Got a great tip?
